Title | Anhedonia induced by high-fat diet in mice depends on gut microbiota and leptin |
Overall design | The aim of this study was to examine the role of the intestinal microbiota and the adipocytokine leptin as potential mediators of the effects of high-fat diet to induce anhedonia-like behavior and reduce self-care in mice. C57BL/6J mice were divided into the following 4 groups: (1) control group (control diet for 4 weeks), (2) high-fat diet group (high-fat diet for 4 weeks), (3) antibiotics group (control diet plus antibiotics treatment for 4 weeks), and (4) high-fat diet + antibiotics group (stressor plus antibiotics treatment for 4 weeks). High-fat diet group showed decreased sucrose preference than control group, while high-fat diet + antibiotics group showed increased sucrose preference than high-fat diet group. Eight to ten cecal content samples per group were used for NMR-based metabonomic analysis. |
